Mariken Kramer

Through my work, I explore the field that lies between documentation, staging and storytelling. It can be themes relating to time, memory and identity or interpersonal relationships. I work across different media, but the camera-based has always been at the center as a tool for sorting, arranging and putting together different narratives. My work includes film/video, sculpture, installation, text and the artist’s book. For the past two years, I have collaborated with Atle Hynne on exhibition projects at Heimdal and Sandefjord Art Association. The direction of the exhibitions became the relationship and references we both have to the three-dimensional and the interaction between what touches our individual starting points within the camera-based and painting. We worked in large and small formats and played our way through formal, spatial and conceptual issues.
